Not the worst macaroni mafia movie, but very far from the best, which is surprising since it's directed by the durable Enzo G. Castellari. In what is essentially a rift on DEATH WISH (though apparently filmed prior to that Charles Bronson classic), businessman Franco Nero, after being kidnapped by a group of goons robbing a post office, decides to take the law into his own hands. The muddled script never makes clear how he's going to go about doing this. Eventually, the bad guys are found and Nero becomes a vigilante. Soon most of the underworld is arrested...There are some really goofy scenes of Nero being beaten and abused and frankly he overacts to the point of looking very silly. Barbara Bach plays "Barbara," but really has little to do. Giancarlo Prete plays Nero's only ally & Renzo Palmer is a bull-headed police inspector. Not Castellari's finest by any stretch. The mostly misplaced music score by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis adds little.
